7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1. TPMS TOOL OVERVIEW
Read and diagnose sensors, and reset TPMS.
Note: With most vehicles, if the vehicle is in “learn mode” the vehicle will also confirm that the TPM
sensor has communicated tothe ECM with a series of horn beeps.
Service Procedure
Section 1.0: Check Sensor
Before servicing the tires/wheels, using your TPMS TOOL,
trigger each of the vehicle's sensors to make sure they are
working properly.
This will eliminate the liability associated with replacing
previously damaged or defective sensors. This procedure will
not change the vehicle settings because the vehicle has yet to
be put into learn/retraining mode.
This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or defective sensors, because some
vehicles do not report a damaged or defective sensor condition on the instrument cluster for up to
20 minutes.
Note: If the sensors do not trigger, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Guide.
Perform tire/wheel service.
For vehicles that require retraining, please see toSection 2.0
Section 2.0: Service
With the vehicle in learn mode, begin by triggering the driver's front
left (LF) wheel sensor. Many vehicles will provide an audible beep
confirming that the sensor ID has been learned by the vehicle on
board computer.
The communication between the sensor and the on board computer is also
confirmed on LCD display of the TOOL.
The same procedure should be followed on all wheel sensors, in a
clockwise rotation, until all the vehicle sensors have been retrained.
After triggering the driver's rear wheel sensor, some vehicles will beep
twice, indicating that the TPM system has been retrained.
1 Start FL
4 End RL
FR 2
RR 3
Fig. 5
For vehicles that do not require retraining, we recommend you trigger each wheel sensor, one final time,
to make sure they are working correctly prior to releasing the vehicle to the customer.

1. ACTIVATE-A LOW FREQUENCY (LF) WIRELESS SIGNAL IS SENT Through TOOL ANTENNA TO THE SENSOR INSIDE THE
TIRE. THIS ALLOWS TECHNICIAN TO READ TIRE PRESSURE, ID NUMBER, TEMP AND BATTERY STATUS WITHOUT
DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
2. AFTERMARKET SENSOR-REPLACEMENT SENSORS SUPPLIED BY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES OR TIRE SUPPLIERS. THE
SENSOR MAY NOT PHYSICALLY LOOK LIKE THE OE SENSOR.
YOUR TOOL HAS SPECIAL PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE BASED ON THE SPECIFIC SENSOR BRAND.
3. AUTO RELEARN-SENSOR ID NUMBERS ARE SENT TO THE ECU AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A SPECIFIED TIME.
YOUR TOOL WILL INDICATE THE REQUIRED DRIVING TIME UNDER SERVICE TPMS ICON.
4. BATTERY LIFE-SENSORS HAVE AN INTERNAL LITHIUM ION BATTERY WHICH CAN NOT BE REPLACED. TYPICAL LIFE
IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5-10 YEARS. YOUR TOOL WILL DISPLAY NO SENSOR DETECTED ON THE SCREEN IF SENSOR
BATTERY HAS FAILED. A DTC CAN BE SET IN THE ECU ALSO.
5. CLONEABLE OR CLONING-USED ONLY BY AFTERMARKET SENSOR BRANDS TO COPY THE ID NUMBER AND
COMMONLY SKIP THE RELEARN PROCEDURE. NOT RECOMMENDED BY OE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. ALWAYS
RELEARN THE TPM SYSTEM WHEN CHANGING A SENSOR.
6. CROSS TALK-WHEN THE TPMS TOOL SIGNAL GETS CONFUSED BY ANOTHER SENSOR SIGNAL. EXAMPLE: YOU HAVE
REPLACE AN OLD SENSOR BUT IT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY DURING YOUR RELEARN THE NEW SENSOR. THE OLD
SENSOR SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE SERVICE BAY AS IT MAYBE TRANSMITTING
7. DELTA PRESSURE-A RAPID CHANGE IN TIRE PRESSURE UP OR DOWN AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO LF WHICH
ACTIVATES THE SENSOR. REFER TO SERVICE MANUAL AS WELL AS TOOL ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS. COMMON ON
GM PRIOR TO 2009 AND MANY EUROPEAN SYSTEMS.
8. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(DTC)-SIMILAR TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT CODES ARE SPECIFIC TO TPMS
9. DIRECT SYSTEM-MOST COMMON DESIGN USED BY MAJORITY OE’S. 4 TO 6 TPM SENSORS WITH VALVES MOUNTED
INSIDE THE TIRE. VALVES MAYBE RUBBER OR METAL DESIGN AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO SERVICE THE REPLACEABLE
PARTS. BE CAREFUL SOME VEHICLE MAY USE DIRECT AND INDIRECT DEPENDING ON THE MODEL. YOUR TOOL
SCREEN WILL SHOW INDIRECT UNDER SERVICE ICON EVEN THOUGH NO PHYSICAL TPM SENSOR INSIDE THE TIRE.
10. HIGH LINE-THE VEHICLE DASH WILL DISPLAY TIRE PRESSURE BY WHEEL LOCATION. ALSO CALL ADVANCED SYSTEM.
MANY LUXURY VEHICLES SHOW PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. SOME VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS OFF UPGRADE
ACCESSORY OPTIONS INCLUDING HIGH LINE. EXAMPLE: 2015/2016 TOYOTA CAMRY IS STANDARD WITH LO LINE
BUT OPTIONAL COLORED DASH DISPLAY WILL BE A HI LINE. SELECT CORRECT SYSTEM WHEN ORDERING
REPLACEMENT SENSOR PART NUMBER.
11. HYBRID SENSOR-A TYPE OF PROGRAMMABLE AFTERMARKET SENSORS. THE TECHNICIAN SELECTS MAKE/MODEL
AND YEAR AND TRIGGERS ACTIVATION WITH THE TPMS TOOL IN 1-3 SECONDS. EXAMPLE: HAMATON U-Pro
12. ID NUMBER-A SPECIFIC DECIMAL OR HEXADECIMAL NUMERIC NUMBER ASSIGNED TO EACH SENSOR. THIS ALLOWS
ECU TO SEE SPECIFIC TIRE LOCATION BY EACH SENSOR FOR RESETTING OR RELEARNING THE TPM SYSTEM. IN
MANY CASES PHYSICALLY PRINTED ON SENSOR BODY BUT NO EASY TO READ. YOUR TOOL WILL DISPLAY
THE SENSOR ID NUMBER.
13. INDIRECT SYSTEM-THIS DESIGN DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SENSOR W/VALVE INSIDE THE TIRE. INSTEAD IT
CALCULATES LOW PRESSURE FROM THE (ABS) ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. RESET
INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN YOUR TOOL WHEN ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE. HOWEVER, A FULL FUNCTION DIAGNOSTIC
SCAN TOOL WITH GRAPHING IS REQUIRED TO DIAGNOSE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS.
14. LEARN MODE-THE VEHICLE’S RECEIVER AND ECU ARE ACTIVATED TO PICK UP THE WIRELESS SIGNAL BEING
TRANSMITTED FROM THE SENSOR INSIDE THE TIRE (DIRECT SYSTEM) YOUR TPMS TOOL WILL SHOW VARIOUS
INSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS USING A KEY FOB, CYCLING IGNITION SWITCH, PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL, ETC. DEPENDING
ON VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR. SPARE TIRE MAY HAVE A FUNCTIONING SENSOR AND CAN BE INCLUDED
IN LEARN MODE.
15. LOW LINE-SYSTEM DO NOT SHOW PRESSURE BY WHEEL LOCATION JUST A SYMBOL INDICATING LOW PRESSURE ON
ONE OF THE TIRES. LOW LINE SENSORS SHOULD NOT BE USED ON HIGH SYSTEMS. EXAMPLE: HYUNDIA GENESIS
COUPES ARE LO LINE BUT GENESIS SEDANS ARE HI LINE.

PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS IN NORTH AMERICA. SERVICE AND PARTS CATALOGS WILL INDICATE 314.9,315,
433.92, OR 434 MHZ. THESE NUMBERS CAN ALSO BE PRINTED ON SENSOR BODY. YOUR TPMS TOOL WILL ALSO
SHOW FREQUENCY MHz.
24. ROLLING MODE-SENSORS GENERALLY SAMPLES DATA EVERY 60 SECONDS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND
MAINTAINS A MINIMUM SPEED.
25. SERVICE KITS-TPMS VALVE COMPONENTS SUCH AS GASKETS, GROMMETS, SEALS, VALVE CORES, SCREWS AND
CAPS NEED TO BE SERVICED DURING TIRE CHANGES. REMEMBER THE VALVE IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURING TIRE
PRESSURE IS MAINTAINED FOR SAFETY AND FUEL ECONOMY.
26. SLEEP MODE-SENSOR BATTERIES LIFE IS CONSERVED DURING PERIODS OF TIME VEHICLES ARE NOT BEING USED.
EXAMPLE: SHIPMENT TO THE NEW CAR DEALER. THIS MAY VARY BY MANUFACTURER AND ANOTHER TERM IS
STORAGE MODE.
27. STATIONARY RELEARN MODE-A TERM USED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING DRIVEN.
EXAMPLE: A VEHICLE IS IN YOUR SERVICE BAY OVERNIGHT. THE TRANSMISSION OF SENSOR
INFORMATION HAS BEEN REDUCED TO SAY BATTERY LIFE. NOT EVERY OE USES THE SAME METHOD.
28. TREAD ACT-THE US FEDERAL LAW THAT MANDATED ALL VEHICLES UNDER 10,000 LBS HAVE A TPMS SYSTEM
AFTER 2007. MANY VEHICLES BEFORE 2007 HAVE TPMS.
29. TRIGGER TOOL-A GENERIC TERM USED FOR ANY HAND HELD TOOL WITH OR WITHOUT A DISPLAY TO ACTIVATE A
DIRECT TPM SENSOR BY (LF) LOW FREQUENCY WIRELESS SIGNAL. ALSO CALLED ACTIVATION OR EXICTER TOOL.
30. UNIVERSAL SENSOR-AN AFTERMARKET PARTS TERM USED TO DESCRIBE A SENSOR THAT CAN WORK ON MORE
THAN A SINGLE MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR.
31. VEHICLE PROGRAMMING-SOMETIMES USED IN PLACE OF TERM RELEARN OR RESET THE LIGHT
32. VEHICLE RELEARNING-THE STEPS SHOWN ON THE TPMS TOOL FOR THE TECHNICIAN TO FOLLOW WHEN AD
JUSTING TIRE PRESSURE, ROTATING TIRES OR REPLACING A TPM SENSOR. THEY FALL INTO THREE TYPES-AUTO
RELEARN, STATIONARY OR OBDII
33. WIRELESS AUTO LOCATE (WAL) SYSTEMS SHOW PRESSURE BY TIRE LOCATION. AFTERMARKET SENSOR SUPPLIERS
OFTEN LIST A SECOND PART NUMBER TO COVER WAL APPLICATIONS. WAL USED ON - CHRYSLERS, JEEPS AND
MERCEDES VEHICLES WHERE SCHRADER IS OE SUPPLIER. USING INCORRECT PART NUMBER CAN RESULT IN TPMS
DASH LIGHT TURNING ON EVEN WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT.
